...There was nothing anywhere. A church foyer had never been so ruthless!Then I saw him. Next to the Easter egg crucifix stood Marshall Pellet. He would shield me from her. But was he alone? Too late to wait! I grabbed my skirt and charged. In the blur of flight I grabbed some sort of flower (a daylily?) from the arrangement I whizzed by. I held the thing up—its petals flapped and fluttered in the top speeds—then jammed it into the sleeve above my left hand. An orange wrist corsage on a black dress...
...Smarter tourists fly over the Pu'u 'O'o vent itself, which if you hit it right can be one of the most spectacular shows on earth.

The shorts, which include one about a woman plagued by an obsessive telemarketer, and another about a filmmaker's effort to create the greenest film ever, will also be shown on board Delta flights through Delta...
...touching a food allergen is not a problem unless you then rub your eyes or stick your fingers into your mouth - both of which young children are fond of doing. Even so, parents' worries about the mere possibility of inhaling peanut dust prompted airlines to stop serving the popular flight snack. There has been no such treatment for passengers with milk or egg allergies, which are more common but also more likely to be outgrown. Moreover, smaller amounts of peanut protein can trigger allergic reactions in those who are sensitive, and peanuts are also more likely to result in fatalities...
